Pressure is growing on US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, with more retired generals calling for him to resign over the Iraq war.
The White House has said it is happy with the way Mr Rumsfeld is handling his job and the situation in Iraq.
But the backing comes as the number of retired generals calling for him to be replaced has risen to six.
It is being described as a rebellion led by those who know Mr Rumsfeld's handling of the war from the inside.
The two most recent generals to voice their unease about Mr Rumsfeld's handling of the war are retired army Maj Gen John Riggs and retired Maj Gen Charles H Swannack Jr.
In a radio interview Maj Gen Riggs, a former division commander, said it was time for Mr Rumsfeld to go because he fostered an atmosphere of "arrogance" among the Pentagon's top civilian leadership.
